No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.
Chapter 402 Proposal: I'm not beautiful at all right now, you know that!
Jiang Hua didn't think much of it and heard Kagel report to Pei Zhan, "According to the school's arrangements for that day, someone did go to the balcony to clean it. Perhaps it was at that time that Miss Song had the opportunity to go up to the rooftop."
The phone on the tea table vibrated. Seeing that it was a call from Zuo Xiangnan, Pei Zhan did not answer it. After it automatically hung up, a series of messages followed.
Kagel noticed the thoughtful look in the man's eyes, wondering what he was thinking. At that moment, Jiang Hua walked over to Pei Zhan, sat down next to him, picked up the remote control, and turned on a TV program. "If you're worried, go watch it."
Both pairs of eyes turned to Jiang Hua at the same time. Kagel was slightly surprised. Given the young mistress's personality, it was very much like he had imagined that the young master's request to see Miss Song would come from the young mistress's mouth.
Jiang Hua lay sprawled on the sofa, her legs propped up on the table, eating fruit as she spoke. "Weren't Zhou Xu's organs on her body?"
"Don't look at me like that. If you want to go, I won't stop you." She said these words lightly, as if she really didn't care.
"No rush, let's wait for news from the police first." After making this decision, Pei Zhan picked up the message he received, then stood up. "I'm going to the study."
Upon seeing the person coming upstairs, Kagel first calmed Jiang Hua down, saying, "Even if the young master is somewhat worried about Miss Song's situation, it's understandable from a personal perspective. The young mistress should know that the young master and Miss Song have already met before, and Miss Song also mentioned in the recording that she and her fiancé are studying and living abroad."
"Now that such a change has occurred, I think the young mistress has guessed it too. It's related to the recording that was leaked at the conference earlier. This has caused all the public opinion storm to shift onto Miss Song. Her actions may be because she couldn't accept these voices and chose such an extreme action."
"So, young mistress, you don't need to worry or feel pressured. Young master will handle this matter perfectly. Young master's heart is with you. His feelings for Miss Song are only because of Miss Zhou Xu."
Jiang Hua chuckled. "Who wants his heart? Is it worth that much?"
“Song Qingran, this whole thing was brought about by Pei Zhan himself from the very beginning, and it has nothing to do with me from start to finish.”
"If he doesn't solve it, am I supposed to step in?"
"I'm not worried about whether Song Qingran is alive or dead. I'm only worried about whether it will affect Jiang's stock market. After all, a drop of one point is worth more than a billion."
"Stop lecturing me, get lost."
Kagel nodded to Jiang Hua and went upstairs.
Jiang Weiguo, who was sitting in the corner, had heard the conversation. He slowly walked over and sat down next to Jiang Hua. "I've heard about Song Qingran's matter too."
"The Jiang family's stock market has not been affected, probably because Dad removed Pei Zhan from his position in advance. Apart from some minor disturbances, you don't need to worry too much about it."
Jiang Hua: "Dad, do I look like I care?"
Jumping off a building... caused such a huge sensation. Does she feel guilty about this?
Song Qingran, you are really nothing like the person you were in your previous life.
In her past life, Jiang Hua didn't know what else had happened to Pei Zhan, but she could clearly hear the voice of her and Pei Zhan's child. There was no mistake.
But in his past life, didn't he accept her as the other woman and be with Pei Zhan without any guilt?
Did she feel no guilt at that time?
Song Qingran keeps saying... she won't be a homewrecker, but... what about her past life?
After Jiang Hua found out about her existence, if Song Qingran hadn't wanted to be a mistress in the shadows and hadn't made a scene in front of Pei Zhan, why would Pei Zhan have divorced her? Well, they even had a child. If Song Qingran hadn't made a scene, Pei Zhan wouldn't have divorced her, and she would have had a legitimate claim to the relationship.
She became Mrs. Pei, the richest woman in the capital city in her previous life.
If Song Qingran were to threaten suicide, wouldn't she get this title?
She said she wanted to study abroad with Lu Yuanzhou, but then, at this crucial moment… after Song Qingran met Pei Zhan, the public outcry escalated, and Song Qingran jumped off a building. All of this happened at once…
Jiang Hua had a vague feeling that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Did he intend to use his death to win Pei Zhan's heart?
But she and Lu Yuanzhou are already engaged. Even if she and her father die, will Pei Zhan have the right to inherit the Jiang Group? What does Song Qingran want to get from Pei Zhan?
What's she after?!
In terms of making money, Lu Yuanzhou is now a top lawyer in the capital. No one can earn more than half of what Pei Zhan earns, whether it's net worth or what he makes. Pei Zhan only earns a few million a year, while Lu Yuanzhou can make tens of millions on a single case in his area of expertise, finance and economics.
Could it be that Song Qingran really has her eye on Pei Zhan?
If that's really the case, wouldn't the sacrifice be too great, risking one's life to save someone?
Or is it that Song Qingran couldn't accept the hurt caused by these public opinion storms and chose this way to escape?
From Song Qingran's perspective, it seems that she really didn't do anything!
All the tragedies started because of Pei Zhan, didn't they?
Even Jiang Hua herself was starting to feel confused thinking about this…
Song Qingran... are you really innocent?
Jiang Hua didn't hear what her father said, but suddenly a live news report came on TV. Outside the operating room in the hospital, Song's mother knelt in front of the reporters, holding Song Qingran's report cards and award certificates over the years, crying her heart out: "My daughter is innocent. She is not a third party who destroys other people's families, and she would never do such a thing."
"I beg you, please help me explain. My daughter has been well-behaved and sensible since she was little. She even worked to earn money to support my medical treatment."
"She...would never do such a thing!"
"Oh right...right right...this is my daughter's medical report. It says that Qingran...is still a virgin, never been touched by a man before."
"I beg you, please spare my daughter's life."
“If you want to do anything, come at me. Don’t hurt my daughter. If she dies, I can’t live either.”
After the video ended, the news anchor said, "So far, our reporters are still following up on the details of Song Qingran's case. The police are also investigating the specific reasons why Song Qingran jumped off the building. What exactly caused her to commit suicide?"
Upon seeing this news, Jiang Hua felt a mix of emotions. Seeing the change in his daughter's mood, Jiang Weiguo immediately turned off the TV.
"Everyone has their own destiny. The Jiang Group's public relations department has already issued a statement saying that Pei Zhan and Song Qingran's relationship is nothing more than a sponsorship relationship. No matter what the outside world says, or whether someone is instigating something, it has nothing to do with you, understand?"
"I know, Dad."
After Song Qingran jumped off the building, all the voices that had previously spoken about Song Qingran disappeared, and in their place came voices speaking in her defense.
Unexpectedly, Song Qingran's background was so difficult. At such a young age, she was able to work and earn money for her mother. I knew that the president of Jiang's Group really had a sponsorship relationship with her. Otherwise... she wouldn't have jumped off the building to prove her innocence.
I said before that I shouldn't comment without knowing the full story; let's wait and see how things develop. I hope Song is safe and sound.
I just browsed the forum of Beijing University, and it seems that these messages and photos came from the forum of this university. They all seem to be very detailed and credible.
It's not like we misunderstood; it turns out… this president of the Jiang Group personally picks up and drops off Song from class. But you can't blame us for talking about her. He has a wife, yet he doesn't seem to know the risks, even sitting in the passenger seat. Who would believe it's just a simple sponsorship relationship?
Exactly! And that medical report—even if the hymen can be repaired, it doesn't prove anything!
…The relationship between the two is probably really unclear. Let's just leave it at that and wait for the official announcement.
Jiang Hua received a message from Shen Bao'er: Hua Hua, look at this anonymous post. It was posted two days ago before Song Qingran came to school.
Many people learned from this post that Song Qingran was being ostracized at school, and that the school was considering expelling her because of her conduct.
I also heard that... Song Qingran was bullied at school, which is why she couldn't think straight, and probably said some hurtful things.
Is that so...?
Why did the Jiang Group's statement have no effect?
Jiang Hua sent a message to Bao'er: These photos prove nothing. The Jiang family has also issued a statement. Don't they know that?
Shen Bao'er sent a hug emoji and then replied: Probably no one will believe it... Song Qingran's situation has nothing to do with Huahua. Your brother told me to tell you, so don't feel guilty.
Huahua, let me show you a picture of the baby. I've noticed that the baby doesn't seem so nasty after all. Look at him, he even eats his own toes.
Oh my god, it looks so good!
Even Bao'er could accept this child, so she thought Shen Yebai would accept him soon too. But then she thought about the Shen family's affairs and decided... never mind, it's none of her business.
Jiang Hua: Yes, it looks great.
After returning to her room, Jiang Hua, having nothing else to do, sprayed water on the flowers in the vase that hadn't yet withered.
The flower buds opened, and one after another, the bright flowers bloomed and blossomed, they were so beautiful.
Pei Zhan's flower arranging skills are really good.
Jiang Hua was lost in thought and didn't notice the figure approaching from behind. Pei Zhan wrapped his arms around her slender waist and hugged her. "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Hua fiddled with the flower petals and said lazily, "Of course I miss you, Xiao Ran."
"Pei Zhan...go and see her."
"After all, you were the one who started all of this."
"I've come up with a better solution. Would you like to hear it?"
"what?"
As he spoke, Pei Zhan took out the vintage gemstone ring from his pocket, knelt down on one knee in front of her, and said, "I'm proposing. Let's... have another wedding."
Jiang Hua had imagined where Pei Zhan would propose to her—it would be in Liasco, on that cruise ship—but she never imagined it would be...now, in a place devoid of any romantic atmosphere, with no audience, no elaborate set, just...so casual...
"Nothing can dispel all rumors better than this method, can it?"
Jiang Hua: "So in the end, it's all for your Xiao Ran."
"It's boring."
Pei Zhan: "If I said that this time it has nothing to do with anyone else, and that I want to grow old with you and spend the rest of my life with you, would Miss Jiang still be willing to start over with me?"
Jiang Hua glanced at it indifferently, put down the watering can, and said, "Take my ring and propose to me?"
Kagel, standing to the side, looked at the ring that belonged to the matriarch of the Huo family and slowly spoke: "I think there is nothing more suitable as an engagement ring than this one."
"We'll invite major news outlets to spread the word about holding the wedding again. No matter who it is or what their purpose is, any inappropriate thoughts or ideas will be nipped in the bud. I believe this will reduce a lot of trouble for the young mistress."
"Fine, even though it lacks a bit of ceremony, I'll reluctantly agree." Jiang Hua leaned down, her gaze level with his, looking at the person kneeling on the ground. "Remember to make it up to him later, or... I'll kill you."
Pei Zhan put the ring on her finger.
Jiang Hua's beautiful eyes narrowed as she smiled; he should know that she wasn't joking.
“Young Madam, the sense of ceremony you want, does this... count…” Kagel turned slightly to the side, pointed in a direction, and there he saw a camera with a red dot lit up behind him.
Jiang Hua paused for a second, "Kagher, you better not tell me you're live-streaming."
Kagel placed his hands in front of him: "People only show their truest selves when they are relaxed and unguarded."
"Compared to those ceremonies, I think nothing is more important than announcing the identity of the young mistress to the whole country."
Jiang Hua: "..."
Unseen by Jiang Hua, not only domestically but also on various international social media platforms, the number of online viewers had exceeded one billion. Kagel's device could connect to the official accounts of the Jiang Group, including… even the official account of the Shengshi Group, which never posts anything, was filled with footage related to this event.
She's really going crazy!
She hadn't combed her hair, it wasn't dry, she wasn't wearing makeup, and she was still wearing pajamas...
Haha, a marriage proposal!
live streaming!
“You really… did a great job, Kagel.”
"Can we end this now?"
Kagel: "The young mistress's smile doesn't look very natural."
Knowing that so many people were watching her, Jiang Hua tried her best to act 'natural' in order to maintain appearances.
Indeed, on the transit video footage that Jiang Hua couldn't see, the comments section was already flooded, including on overseas social media accounts. In most European countries, upon seeing the statement issued by the Huo Group, it was revealed that the gifts received in less than half an hour had already reached tens of billions.
After Kagel ended the live stream, Jiang Hua grabbed Pei Zhan's collar with both hands, her teeth grinding together, "Do you know I haven't changed my clothes? My hair isn't dry, I haven't put on makeup, I'm not pretty at all right now, you know that!"
